[Thunderbolt General] ThunderStick:
So what do you think, was this worth it. I think so.

This is what I weighed when I made my decision to switch: (impulsively maybe)

(1) Storage

Nexus One - 512mb (half taken up by OS), I provided a 16gb MicroSD (needing more, debated a 32GB for the past 4 months)

TB - 8gb, Comes with a 32gb MicroSD

(2) Network >

Nexus One - T-Mobile

TB - Verizon

(3) Monthly Bill >

Tmobile - Went up $10 three months ago to $130month

Verizon - 99.95 month

(4) Network Features and Coverage >

Tmobile - Normally getting EDGE Network, Spotty 3g, No 4G, Voice coverage not really that good either

Verizon - Strong 3G spotty 4G, Best voice coverage hands down of any provider

(5) Customer Service >

T-Mobile - Arab guy practically needed a translator to talk to me (kept asking me to repeat my self because he didn't understand)

Verizon - Cute sounding southern bell answered the phone and took care of my question fast and directly, no putting on hold to ask some one else and definitely didn't need a translator.

(9) Processors

Nexus One - 1ghz Snapdragon

Thunderbolt - 1ghz Scorpion

Pretty much a tie here I think. But from I could see at the Verizon Store and My current N1 using quadrant Thunderbolt (1870) slapped my N1 (1175) and then showed it who daddy was. Sorry N1 lost again.

(10) Phone Size (This was my biggest concern, pun intended)

Nexus One - Attractively big enough for any feature I want (Perfect size for a smart phone IMO)

Thunderbolt - A little on the big side with the screen being nearly .5 inches bigger as well the phone size being about the same width and height wise.

(11) Dev Support

Nexus One will probably devour any phone in the category

Thunderbolt should pick up the pace as it matures

(12) OS (Gingerbread AOSP Vs. Froyo Sense)

Nexus One - Gingerbread AOSP Stock or Tons of different Custom Roms, Google Supported of course (Reason for the N1 Love). Nice, clean and absolutely no BLOAT

Thunderbolt - Froyo with Sense. Honestly I love sense. Coming from and AOSP build and I couldnt be happier. I love the added widgets, the layout of sense is phenomenal, recent apps in the pull down is awesome. It just looks great. TONS OF BLOAT WARE though.

(13) Feature Set

Nexus One - APPS to SD (A must have for this phone), Free WIFI Tethering, Standard type Android settings menus, Trackball notifications (handier than I would have ever thought), Compatible with nearly any app that hits the market, call blocking support via Cyanogen MOD

Thunderbolt - APPS to SD (not even needed), WIFI Tethering with Paid subscription to VZ (downer, but possibly free with ROOT), Settings menus are not standardized with AOSP Android Releases making them a new learning curve

(14) Accessories

Nexus One - Packed Full of what ever you need, but need to find it on Ebay since most places are no longer carrying accessories for the phone.

Thunderbolt - Already a flooded market of accessories (major plus)

(15) Battery Life

Nexus One and Thunderbolt are about the same. N1's never got that great of battery life either. After my battery leveled off on my Thunderbolt, it has been pretty comparable.

So far this is the homework I have done to help with my decision. The monthly cost was not really a deal maker or a breaker for me since I was allready comfortable with it. The fact that T Mobile sold off to ATT is a little disheartening to me and leaves me anxious as to what I can expect from the most notorious of all the major carriers. That is what finally pushed me over the EDGE and in to the LiTE.
